  Well done! Reminds me of broot (https://dystroy.org/broot/). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Superfile – A fancy, petty terminal file manager

  I personally use broot[1] to achieve something similar. I’ve you open two panes, you can copy or move items between them. I also sometimes use it as a pseudo IDE. [1]: https://dystroy.org/broot. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Exa Is Deprecated

  Https://dystroy.org/broot/ You can use it just like the original tree tool too: https://dystroy.org/broot/tricks/#replace-tree (disclaimer: broot author). - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• What’s everyone working on this week (1/2023)?

  I'll add the long awaited support for nushell in broot. Source: over 3 years ago

• A list of new(ish) command line tools – Julia Evans

  Broot has many features that feel natural... When you know they exist (for example, try looking for what's taking space with `br -w` then stage the files and remove them at the end). I suggest everyone to have at least a short glance at the introduction at https://dystroy.org/broot/. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• File manager with image preview in the terminal?

  Looks like broot will do this: https://dystroy.org/broot/. Source: over 4 years ago

• What are some good GUI file browsers with thumbnails that don't have an entire DE as a dependency?

  Broot[1] is somewhat similar to ranger and is better at searching for files, but has its own downsides. I thought I'd mention it since I like using it, but someone mentioned Thunar and that's probably a good choice. Source: over 4 years ago

• does anyone know of a decent open source file explorer

  It's an option you have in broot, and it's useful when you want for example to clean your disk, but it's a TUI so it may not suit you. It really depends on your goals and tastes, and whether you're comfortable in a terminal. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Command Line Tools for Productive Programmers

  Have you ever tried to pipe `tree` into `less` in a real code directory, with directories containing thousands of files ? That solves no problem. The idea of broot isn't just to "be aware of the size of your terminal": its view is BFS based to show you a useful overview.
